$27.50
Notes of Florals, Starfruit, Melon
After a visit with our producer partners in Peru last fall, the Passenger green buying team traveled to neighboring Ecuador where we had the chance to cup a number of single producer lots, including those from award-winning producer, Fausto Romo. We are excited to share a number of distinct selections from his farm, La Carolina, including this washed sidra variety separation. A refined and refreshing coffee, we find plenty of citrus peel and floral aromatics on the nose, followed by flavors of ripe melon, sweet starfruit, and yellow plum.
    Lot:

    Fausto Romo Sidra

    Originally focused on dairy production after acquiring his farm, La Carolina, producer Fausto Romo was inspired by an uncle to shift his attention to cultivating unique coffee varieties. One variety in particular, called sidra, was being grown at a nearby experimental plot run by Nestlé before Fausto adopted it to be a main fixture of his farm. In 2023, a washed process sidra entry from his farm was awarded 14th place overall in the Ecuador Cup of Excellence competition.
